From what I've been reading about the APD's, is that it would be a document stating things like. If you don't want specific medications or treatments, ECT for example. It also would state things like who would be alloud to visit you, who would be notified when your admitted in an emergency situation and one thing I found important for some ppl is who your children would be left with.

One thing that I would want, would not to be forced to a strip search. I've had to be searched like this in more then one admission to 2 different hospitals. This caused more harm then good. It's one thing to look through my packets, it's another to have someone strip and stand there naked while someone goes through your things.

An APD is something I'm going to look into getting. With having DID there are many times I'm not aware of where I'm at, what year it is or how old I am. Having an APD on file at the local hospital would help out a lot with any confusion that might come up if I'm ever taken to the hospital alone.
